 		[UPDATE] Project gateway will become unstable in two days
Ok, something at the projectgateway page has freaked and we now have two days to fix it before there is an internal instability. The info page has some important looking stuff including the fact that the security guard is not at his post. I am trying to gather more information about this.

 		Ha. I knew we were going to break something eventually.

Looks like we need to send something to the keyhole. According to the main page, the Gaurd is missing head.grd, torso.grd, flashlight.grd, arms.grd, legs.grd. He's a regular paraplegic. Wink

What have we got that looks like that?

Technically, parapalegics have torsos too. Poor guard. That's what he gets for rejecting that key that one time!

 		Oh, crap. Poor Guard Crying or Very sad He doesn't even have a head!

I have no idea how we are supposed to find these files.. um, let's collate all the info we have about the problem together..

Mmm.. anyone seeing any clues? Nothing is jumping out at me. Perhaps we should look over some old pages, maybe something will have appeared?

EDIT : And after we were all looking forward to the two new commands so much last night as well! Sad

 		Just a thought. Why do we want to fix it? Wouldn't it be good if project gateway barfed?

 		This is true. We've hypothesized that we're freeing the member of Section 32, but we've see no evidence of this; certainly, Strike or Slash should have contacted Brendan by now if they were free. I'm all for looking for the parts (you never know if we'll NEED to do it all of a sudden,) but perhaps we should withhold them until we get a little more info?

 		One thing has me worried--31/32 cells are still occupied. We've been putting keys in but as near as I can tell no one has actually gone free yet.

And if Section 32 is still trapped in CC32, what'll happen to them if it borks?

 		Here's something odd- the timer is set to CST, whereas the keys are scanned on EST.

 		deuce has the guard!

Subject: Well well well...

ADVERTISEMENT
Look at what the cat dragged in, a bunch of Judge hooligans. Ha
ha! What fools. And poor CyberStrike had to call out to his
alternate reality gaming friends, because he had no one else to turn
to. Oh boo hoo! Like you crappers can figure out puzzles. Then
again, you have been finding a couple too many keys. Ah, who
cares!? Either way you're just random people picked off of the
sidewalk.

And speaking of sidewalk, maybe I should have thrown you a bit
quicker, Brendan, because I'm sure you would have made a wonderful
splatter. And if you hadn't told your... heartwarming... story, I
probably would have never remembered you. Thanks for reminding me,
old buddy.

And look, your little friends are slowly dying because the guard of
Project Gateway isn't there to make sure everything is in order.
Oh, do you miss him? Maybe I should take him off of the data disk I
put him on!

He he, I know something you don't! I'm so special! WHEEEE!

And above all, it's not like any of you know my weakness. Heh, such
stupid people. Stupid stupid stupid.

Enjoy your dead saviors. I'll enjoy slowly taking over the world,
one flop at a time.

A few points:

This seems to be important. Get to thinking!

A flop is, of course, a hold 'em turn. Will we be seeing a hold 'em game against duece tonight to get the guard back? Perhaps, but I think we need to figure out his weakness first. And we're on a time constraint!

 		Finally a lead, I think the only weakness he has was when he was paralyzed by the card gun on its initial test run and im sure he barely remembers it they were so drunk.

It also seems he knows alot about Section 32, he seems to know that they are the key to World Domination, or possibly just enough to capture the Gaurd.

 		Okay, so what do we know about Deuce.. my first thoughts are:

- From the Deuce Sheriff report, he loves gambling, in fact this is the main reason for his life of crime. Perhaps this is considered to be his weakness? This would fit in with the hold 'em theory. Maybe we need to play him at something to get the files Very Happy

- His girlfriend's name is Acey.

 		Poker
I think Brendan is our guy. He said he liked poker a lot, so I think they're gonna bet something, our keys maybe, against the data disk containing the guardian
We have to contact him some way and let him know. I think he's a better bet. One of us, me for example, could screw up at the game.
